Exac materials Exam question with accurate detailed
|| || || || || || ||




answers


material selection properties-what are the requirement for the most suitable structural
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




material? - ✔✔the structural material that combine stiffness and elasticity are considered
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




the most suitable material.
|| || ||




material selection properties-elasticity? - ✔✔The ability of a material to bounce back after
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||




being disturbed ||




- the ability of the body to deform under stress, bend, stretch and compress when the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




external forces are applied and return to its original shapes when the forces are removed.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




material selection properties-elastic limit? - ✔✔Maximum stress that a material will
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




withstand without permanent deformation. || || ||




material selection properties-Ductile material - ✔✔A material which can be drawn out into
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||




a wire. This implies that plastic strain occurs under enough stress.
|| || || || || || || || || ||




- the material that undergo plastic deformation before breakage are called ductile material.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




material selection properties-plastic deformation - ✔✔permanent deformation caused by
|| || || || || || || || ||




strain when stress exceeds a certain value
|| || || || || ||




material selection properties-Brittle material - ✔✔A material that undergoes little
|| || || || || || || || || ||




deformation under increasing force, until it breaks suddenly. example glass || || || || || || || || ||




material selection properties-stiffness? - ✔✔The resistance of an elastic body to deflection
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




by an applied force.
|| || ||

,2




the force that is applied to the material to bring it to the elastic limit.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




material selection properties-what is dimension stability of the material? - ✔✔the property
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




of the material to keep its dimension properties especially when the direct affect of the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




moisture content or atmosphere are applied to it. dimension ability is important when
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||




considering material selection. || ||




material selection properties-water and vapor resistance - ✔✔the resistance to water and
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




vapour is an important factor in selection of the material for construction.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




material selection properties-thermal conductivity - ✔✔The ability of an object to transfer
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




heat



material selection properties-material selection and light, radiant heat, transmission ? -
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




✔✔the material property that reflect or absorb light are important factors for deciding a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




material selection || ||




the reflection or absorption of radiant heat should also be considered in selecting the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




material.



material selection properties- what is density and hardness of a material? - ✔✔the ability to
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




resist wear and abrasiveness. durability of a material.
|| || || || || || ||




important factor when considering material section.
|| || || || ||




material selection properties - combustion
|| || || || ||




combustion - ✔✔the property of the material to resist combustion.
|| || || || || || || || || ||




-withstand exposure to fire. || || ||

,2


-not produce toxic smoke/gases or smell.
|| || || || ||




material selection properties - colour, texture, scale , shapes - ✔✔important factor
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




considering design requirement and presentation of the material. || || || || || || || ||




many material are produces in certain shapes and sizes, it varries with the manufacture
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




little bit but relatively small. this is also a factor to consider when selection of the material.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




eg- bricks, stock dimension etc.
|| || || ||




material selection properties? - ✔✔elasticity || || || ||




ductile material ||




stiffness

plastic deformation || ||




resistance to water and vapor || || || ||




brittle material ||




resistance to exposure to heat, not producing toxic waste etc.
|| || || || || || || || || ||




absorption of light, || || ||




absorption of sound || ||




colour/texture /shape ||




combustion ||




thermal conductivity ||




What is a life cycle assessment? - ✔✔the selection and valuation of material should not only
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




limit to its functional aspect, aesthetic and economic aspect but should also consider the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




impact of the the environmental factors.|| || || || || ||

, 2


The investigation and valuation of the environmental impacts of a given product or service
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




caused or necessitated by its existence.
|| || || || ||




the life cycle assessment of a material includes,
|| || || || || || || ||




-extraction of the raw material. || || || || ||




-processing of the raw material. || || || || ||




-manufacturing, packaging and transportation of the finished product || || || || || || ||




-maintenance of the material in use. || || || || || ||




-possible recycling and reuse of the material and its final disposal.
|| || || || || || || || || ||




Life Cycle Assessment of material include three component? - ✔✔-input
|| || || || || || || || ||




-life cycle inventory
|| ||




-output



what is input component of life cycle assessment? - ✔✔raw material, energy and water
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||




processes are ||




- acquisition of raw material---- the extractions of raw material and its impact on the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




environment. Is the material extracted is renewable or nonrenewable eg. metals are non
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||




renewable ||




where as timber can be renewable resource
|| || || || || ||




-processing, manufacturing and packaging ----what are energy and water requirement for
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




the processing, manufacturing and packaging.
|| || || || ||




-transportation and distribution || ||




-construction use and distribution . || || || ||




-disposal, recycling and reuse. || || ||
